Autumn turned to winter, the wind was cold, and on the ninth day after the departure of the two servants of the sun god, it snowed.

In the past, there would have been few people in Greystone Village who were cold and hungry. What's more, not long ago, there was a cavalry scout team of Tachibana Thorn to 'wreak havoc', many villagers' homes were burned down, and there was no food left, according to experience, this winter, Gray Stone Village should be frozen to death, or starve to death Some people, but the fact is the opposite, now all the villagers, everyone has clothes to wear, and every family has food to eat.

This is naturally the credit of Chen Xiansong. After the winter, the price of food in the Black Earth City almost doubled, but with the 50,000 gold coins sent by Verde as a base, it was not a big problem to feed the people of a small village. Chen Xiansong is not stupid to do good deeds, he still understands this truth.

Now all the households in the village are working for Chen Xiansong, and the content of the work is very simple, which is nothing more than digging up the weeds on the mountain according to Bai Min's request, and then planting the fruit trees collected from other places on the hillside according to the map. Originally, the snowy winter was not a very good time for fruit tree transplantation, but in order to complete the construction of the entire ecological agriculture circle before spring, Bai Min couldn't care so much, in her opinion, as long as the survival rate of fruit trees was not less than sixty percent, there would be no problem.

Chen Xiansong wrapped in a big cotton coat and squatted in front of the fireplace to roast the fire, and now he is quite nostalgic for the automatic constant temperature room in the new human era, which is simply like spring all year round. After feeling the strange 'unknown' substance, he began to spend less time sleepy, but because of this, he would rather run out and get cold than snuggle under the covers.

Alice frowned at him coldly, she had been like this since Chen Xiansong kissed Bai Min.

The mercenaries are running around the village carrying logs every day, and they don't need Bai Min to supervise them. The top twenty-five people have meat to eat, in order to be able to eat meat every day, the mercenaries are almost risking their lives to train, and under Bai Min's example, they gradually have a trace of the solemn temperament that only an iron-blooded army can have.

Most people are optimistic about the changes in the mercenaries, and it is a good thing to have an elite army to protect the village. However, there are a very small number of people who disagree with this, and even some are indignant, such as Rena.

Rena stood in front of the window, watching the snow shouting military horns and singing military songs, and circled around the mercenaries training in Graystone Village, speechless for a long time. Not so long ago, twenty-five of them were her men, but now there aren't any. Mona meditated on the side, and when she woke up, she found that Rena still maintained her movements before she entered the meditation, and couldn't help but persuade her: "Sister, don't think too much, those mercenaries are not our subordinates in the first place, let's open some." ”

Rena shook her head, "You don't understand. ”

She ignored her sister and walked out of the house by herself. Most of the young people in Graystone Village have gone to the mountains and forests to dig trees and plant trees, and only the elderly are left behind in the village for the time being. The snow had not yet fallen very thick, and as soon as she stepped on it, the thin layer of snow was immediately squeezed into a liquid because of the pressure, and she walked aimlessly through the village, leaving light gray footprints, and then soon covered by the falling snow.

"Bless His Excellency Chen Xiansong to live a long life and live a long and healthy life forever......"

It was the voice of an old woman praying in her own home. Although Chen Xiansong and Gray Stone Village are still a little wrong, the villagers are not heartless villains, they understand what is a good person and what a bad person is, and most of them are grateful from the bottom of their hearts for Chen Xiansong, who can ignore their past suspicions at a critical moment and is willing to pull them along.

Rena felt that such a voice was very harsh, and she whispered coldly: "Men are not good things, especially aristocratic men, hmph, you will know his sinister in the future." ”

She walked slowly to the entrance of the village, because the weather was cold, most of the villagers were reluctant to come out. She is a fire-type fighter and is naturally resistant to the cold. Outside the entrance of the snowy village, it was very quiet, only the sound of the wind blew and brought up, she felt very lonely, and even her sister did not understand her.

Behind him, there was the rustle of footsteps on the snow. Rena looked back and saw that it was a young boy walking out of the village with a bag on his back and a spear in both hands.

The boy saw her too, but quickly looked away and continued on his own walk. …,

"Hey, where are you going?" As the boy was about to pass by her, Rena couldn't help but ask.

The boy was a little strange, and he looked at the woman, who was as strong as a man, "Get out of the village." ”

"Leaving the village?" Rena suddenly felt a confidant in her heart: "You also feel uncomfortable staying here?" ”

The boy nodded, "I like a girl, but I don't like the lord of the manor here." I'm going to get out of here and do what I'm supposed to do, so that I can get what I want in the future. ”

When Rena heard this, she automatically ignored the rest of the content, and only remembered the phrase, 'I don't like the lord of the manor here.' ’

"Yes, he's just a sinister villain, going back on his word." The more Rena looked at this young man, the more she felt that she was the same as herself, a sober person who could see Chen Xiansong's sinister heart: "But what are you going to do after you leave here?" ”

"Return to the Kingdom of Aurora and join the army." The boy looked at the sky: "If it's okay, I'll go first." ”

"Wait" Rena hurriedly called out to him, "What's your name, what do you want to do when you join the army?" I've heard that the Kingdom of Aurora is in chaos right now, full of hungry people, and full of bandits. In this case, if you go to join the army, you are undoubtedly asking for your own death. ”

The boy looked at her: "My name is Da Tie." Benjamin told me that heroes come out of troubled times, and the more chaotic the place, the more opportunities. I'm going to be a general, I'm going to have power, and one day, I'll come back here with the army, trample the lord of the manor on the ground, and tell her that I'm the ......" Datie suddenly paused, didn't continue to speak, and then continued to move forward.

"Wait." Rena suddenly grabbed the boy's clothes, and she didn't know why she would do this.

Da Tie turned around and asked impatiently, "Do you have anything else?" ”。

Rena's mouth opened, and she felt as if there was a sudden desire in her heart, as if hot magma was rolling in her heart, and like thunder in the dark clouds, roaring in her mind one by one. A thousand words came to his lips and turned into an extremely simple sentence: "I leave with you and join the army." ”

"For what?" Da Tie couldn't understand it.

After Rena made this decision, she felt the dark clouds that had been weighing on her for days lift, and she finally understood what she was thinking of the most. Power, an army, an army of her own, the twenty-five mercenaries opened the true desire in her heart.

Rena laughed heartily like a man: "Like you, I also want to be a general, there is no shortage of female generals in history, I also hope to be one of them, wait for me, I will go back and prepare to salute, it should be more convenient for the two to act together, look at your appearance, you should be a person from the Aurora Kingdom, when you get there, I may need your care, in return, I will teach you the fighting skills of the warrior in return, what do you think?" ”

Da Tie thought for a while, and felt that this deal was quite good, so he nodded and agreed: "Then you hurry up, we have to cross the border before dark, and Garfield in winter will become more fierce and terrible because of lack of food." ”

"I'm also a mercenary, of course I understand that."

Mona was still meditating and communicating with the elements, when she heard the door open, she opened her eyes and said, "Sister, are you back?" ”

"Well, Mona, pack your things, let's get out of here." Rena said.

Mona was dumbfounded for a moment, she frowned and said, "Sister, this joke is not funny at all. ”

"I'm not kidding." Rena said seriously, "I finally know what I want to do. Mona, you're either going to come with me or you're going to stay here. I can see that you seem to have a pretty good impression of that bastard Chen Xiansong. ”

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Mona got angry.

There are some things that can be hidden from others, but they cannot be hidden from relatives. Rena shook her head: "But thanks to that bastard who let me lead more than twenty subordinates in front of me, I realized the longing that I have been hiding in my heart, I want to go to the Kingdom of Aurora, where there is turmoil now, and there are opportunities everywhere, I want to fight, I no longer want to be a mercenary guard who is called around." ”

At this time, Mona finally realized that Rena didn't seem to be telling a lie: "Sister, if you leave, it is equivalent to betraying the Soul Ponderers Association, although they will not kill you, but you will never be a mercenary in the future, and all the mercenary associations will not let you step through the door again." ”…,

"I know the truth, but it doesn't matter." Rena packed her things: "Mona, do you choose to go with me, or stay here with that sinister little white face." ”

Mona shook her head bitterly: "Sister, I don't want to live a bumpy life anymore, you can stay too, a stable life is more important than anything else, why do you have to pursue power......"

"Sister, you never knew me...... I'm not like you, I have extraordinary looks and amazing talent for sorcerers, it will take me twice as long to catch up with you, and now I have found what I want, so ...... See you again. ”

Rena walked away, and only a crying Mona was left in the room.

Outside the entrance of the village, when Datie was about to get impatient, he finally saw Rena's figure appear at the entrance of the village.

"I've been waiting."

Da Tie nodded, and the two walked together, the dark clouds sprinkled white debris in the air, and the sky was very dark, but Rena felt that the sky and the earth were bright now.

The Greystone Village grew smaller and smaller behind them, and just as they were about to disappear completely, a woman greeted in front of the two of them, a very beautiful woman. Da Tie always thought that Bai Min was the most beautiful woman in the world, but this one in front of her was not bad, she had long soft golden hair, and her height was about 1.74 meters. Even in her thin clothes, the wind and snow didn't make her feel any cold.

"Two, may I ask, is there Greystone Village in front?". The woman smiled and smiled, as if there was no color in the world ......,
